Kurt Castell is an real estate investor based in Sydney. Inspired by how his grandfather build his wealth, Kurt developed a strong interest for property from a very young age. After saving up a substantial sum through disciplined work in landscaping plus stock investing, he has already bought his second property at the tender age of 23. In this episode of Property Uncovered, we uncover the mindset that led Kurt to invest from so young, the opportunity cost of not taking action, or why he saw hiring a buyer’s agent was a no brainer for him.

-- QUOTES --
- “You have one life to live so why slave away all life and then when you are to old to actually enjoy it that’s when you retire? [...] That whole mindset didn’t make sense to me.”
- “I knew I wanted a way to make my money work for itself and shares were an easy way to begin, because property was such a big thing at the time it wasn’t even in my vision yet.”
- “If a thousand dollars a year is going to worry you then you shouldn’t be investing anyway.”
- “If you don’t know what you are doing, use people that do.”
